Strength Training: The Science Behind Building Athleticism

Learn How To Build Muscle Specifically For Your Sport, The Strength Qualities & How To Create Your Own Training Program

LEARN HOW TO BUILD STRENGTH AND POWER SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR SPORT!

Whether you are an athlete, trainer, or coach, this course teaches you the science and fundamentals behind strength, power, and athleticism—so you can build performance that actually transfers to your sport.

Because these principles apply to all sports, this course is ideal if you want to develop strength and power specifically for your individual discipline, not just get stronger in the gym.

This Is Not A Course By A Fitness Guru, Preaching How To Become Big And Strong!

Muscle size alone does not increase athletic performance—just like elite sprinters don’t have the largest leg muscles.

In this course, we go deep into the science behind muscle function, strength, and power development. You’ll learn how and why strength training should be approached differently depending on your sport and goals.

The focus is on understanding training principles and the purpose behind exercises, so you can build muscle and strength in a way that serves your performance, rather than working against it.

As a trained biomechanist, basketball coach, and athlete, I study human locomotion and develop methods to analyze and optimize movement. This course combines scientifically proven knowledge with practical experience I’ve gained over the years.

The course includes 60+ lectures and nearly 4 hours of content, designed to give you a deep and structured understanding of strength and power training.

After finishing this course, you will be able to:

• Understand the purpose behind specific exercises

• Build training programs based on your individual needs and sport

• Unlock your genetic performance potential

• Maximize the effectiveness of every workout

• Create your own long-term strength and power training program

The following questions will be answered in this course:

Muscle Structure

• How are muscles built?

• Which types of muscles and muscle fiber types are there?

• How do muscles contract?

• What's the relationship between the force a muscle can produce and its length?

• Which body structures contribute a high force output apart from the muscles?

Muscle Operations

• Which muscle contraction forms are there?

• What's the relationship between the force production of a muscle and its contraction velocity?

• How do muscles and tendons interact and why is it important that they do?

• What is muscle hypertrophy and how much hypertrophy is needed for your sport?

• Should we train to fatigue or with sore muscles?

Nervous System And Motor Control

• What's the role of the nervous system regarding strength and power training?

• Which components does the nervous system consist of?

• How can we train our nervous system to increase our performance?

• What is proprioception and how can it help us to get significantly better?

Strength Qualities

• In which individual qualities can we divide strength?

• How can we train those qualities and how do they influence each other?

• What's the relationship between maximal strength and maximal velocity/speed?

• What exactly is the meaning of power in relation to strength?

• How can we track our training progress?

Training Principles

• Which qualities define overall athleticism?

• What's the importance of mobility/flexibility and how does it contribute to our performance?

• How should we approach training?

• How can we build functional hypertrophy that serves our sport?

• How can we train certain sport-specific qualities?

Training Adaptations

• How do our muscles adapt after exercise?

• How can we optimize our training adaptations?

• Where does our body draw energy from during high intensities?

• What should we eat for optimal performance?

• How does breathing affect our performance?

• How can we minimize the recovery time and which popular recovery methods are there?

Bonus: Creating Your Own Training Program

• How can we control our training load while maximizing our adaptations?

• How to design a long term training program?

• How to structure a single workout?

• Which training phases are there within a year and how does our approach change during those phases?

Do NOT purchase this course if you are looking for a ready-made workout plan with detailed exercise prescriptions. While an exercise library and practical examples are included, the main focus is on the science and fundamentals behind strength and power training. The goal is to help you understand why training works, so you can design and adapt programs independently.

If you want to take your own training—or your clients’ training—to the next level, this course is made for you.
